Thanks, Svelte. No, she is not finishing up at SDSU. See, the three-year SDSU nursing school wait would only start ticking for her this fall. She has to stay put. We paid for the first two years of the private college (with help from her working in the summers) but from now on, she’s on her own. At least she’s pretty assured of getting a job as a nurse as soon as she graduates, so the student loans (if she can get them) won’t be so ominous. She plans to work as a nurse to put herself through grad school (wants to be a nurse practitioner).

Great advice about getting a job at SDSU. I did that myself when I went there, but they didn’t have the tuition deal back in my day (I’m ancient).
